Regarding the eMail from GC, if you will read it carefully, I think you will see that he is using a little LesSpeak.
Notice that he does NOT say that he will accurately report on REAL TIME developments.
What he said was the he will "continue to accurately report real time developments, AS REPORTED BY MANAGEMENT." If I understand him correctly, he will give us real time reports IF JJ GIVE HIM PERMISSION TO DO SO.
So...it appears that even GC is capable of playing word games with us. Surprise, surprise, surprise.
JMHO of course.
